<br>
2017 Opening of the Butterfly House & Pollinator Path<br>
<br>
</i></b></div>
BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster
announces the 2017 Butterfly House & Pollinator Path,
open daily <b>Thursday, June 1st through Sunday, September 3, 2017
9:30am – 4pm.<br>
<br>
</b> Butterflies are among the most beautiful insects in the
world. Our new Butterfly House will give our visitors the chance to
see butterflies “up close and personal.” As you approach the
Butterfly House you will walk through a beautiful Pollinator Path filled
with plants such as Orange Butterfly Weed (providing a place for
butterflies to lay their eggs), Yarrow, Purple Coneflower and many more
varieties that attract our pollinators and provide them with nectar.
Then, inside the Butterfly House you will see Monarch and Painted Lady
butterflies flying about and watch caterpillars go through the different
stages of a butterfly cycle. You may be there at the moment a
butterfly emerges from its chrysalis to join other butterflies in flight
throughout the Butterfly House. Thanks to The Simon Foundation,
Crocker Nurseries, and our volunteers and staff involved in making this
possible!<br>
<br>
Guests will be able to feed a butterfly by holding a small sponge
brush with juice on it and watch the butterfly up close as it drinks from
the sponge! What a great photo opportunity!<br>
<br>
<b> *FEEDING TIMES:<br>
</b> MONDAY – FRIDAY: 10am, 12pm and 2pm, <br>
SATURDAY & SUNDAY: 10am, 11:30am and 1pm. <br>
